One of our most important responsibilities is being an integral part of the local SKYWARN network.
Our weather spotters have all received National Weather Service training, and participate in our SKYWARN nets when they are available.
We have a need for mobile spotters throughout the county. Our experienced net control operators monitor radar and the National Weather Service to insure the safety of our spotters.
If you are interested in participating in SKYWARN, you can either visit the Chicago National Weather Service website and sign up for a Basic Weather Spotter training session, or you can see our Training section on this website for links to other training sources. Live NWS training sessions are usually held in the early spring. If you would like further information about ARES and SKYWARN, please contact admin@kanecountyares.org.
